Nothing from Oprah is ever worth it.

He's indulging his feelings of self-righteousness at a time most people would be indulging their self-pity. Either way you slice it, it's self-indulgence. Would I fare any better in terms of coping? Almost certainly not. On the other hand, if I were dying and felt the need to make a last statement that would hopefully stick with people, I sure hope it's not: "Look at me! I can do 1-armed pushups!"
The cynical part of me watches that poor man parade himself around like a 3-legged chimp at a carnival freakshow, and I'm torn between pitying him, which would be the humane thing to do, I suppose, and feeling disdain. Why disdain? Because he's not just the 3-legged chimp, he's also the guy selling the tickets, he just doesn't know it.
I respectfully disagree. It was not worth a click. And to echo the sentiment of a previous poster, Oprah is never worth a click. If I feel the need for listening to someone with a Messianic Complex, I'll do so by some other means. Like buying a magazine published by a person who puts themselves on the cover every month. Ya know, something like that.

I for one applaud the guy in the clip.
I had a huge reply to your post, but after some thought, I decided you just weren't worthy of being enlightened as to this guys speech. Let me just say this to you:
You child, are the pinnacle example of what I consider to be a horrible person. I don't care if you are 15 or 50, you are a complete moron, who lacks any good qaulities.
I hope that one day, you grow up, become enlightened to many aspects of life, stop being so self-centered/righteous, and obtain a certian amount of wisdom that will one day make you understand and appreciate this mans speech.
Until then, I find you to be like so many others I grew up with and watched. I find you to be a spoiled rotten brat, who has never known discipline, humility, a hard days work or appreciation.
You truly disgust me, but I still hope you find your way. And I wish you the best, though it's clear you don't deserve it. >.>
Have a good day.

Wow, that was a passionate reply. Should I have Chinese or Mexican for dinner?
There's a non-Oprah version for those who care to look for it.
Everyone is pretty much always either self-indulging or self-pitying. You can either lament your existence or enjoy it-- not many other options.
And the message, as he says, is not to us, but to his kids. We can only speculate whether he actually wanted to spend fifteen of his final minutes on the Oprah show. Personally I'm prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt.
Well, if you didn't get anything valuable from it, what can I say. You're either exceptionally well-adjusted or retarded, neither of which particularly concerns me.

I was momentarily tempted to enter into a long diatribe which vehemently disagreed with your stance on that. But on second thought, I suspect that this is one issue neither of us, or most people, is likely to change their opinions on.
I would counter, in the shortest way I know how, that self-indulgence and self-pitying are not opposite ends of the same spectrum, they're both forms of self-indulgence, they're the same end, the same pole. And that their opposite is indifference. To me, happiness involves striking a balance between those two extremes.
Or ****. It's hard to say.
Whatever mild annoyance he feels toward the cancer which will leave his children fatherless is dwarfed by the rage I felt each time the image froze and the audio continued. It happened the first time right after his impressive push-ups display, and without having witnessed that particular desperate act of calisthenics I may have just let the audio play and never cared what he looked like during the lecture. After seeing him spring up with such force that he could clap his hands a good six inches off the ground, though, my curiosity was understandably piqued, and so I clicked the little progress bar and skipped back a few seconds.
The video froze again a few seconds later, leaving me listening to his monologue like a blind man, and I said, "FUck it". I mean, people are dying all over the place and they've all got **** to say. I'm sure it was inspirational.
